"Vin Downes is a superb musician who has made a wonderful record...stunning and beautiful."

David Crosby - CSN, CSNY, The Byrds, CPR

"Singular Guitarist Vin Downes returns with an exceptional incursion into contemporary music. This 12-track collection called good light to go by diverts the senses into a world where light and sound seamlessly converge. The consequence is an amazing, peaceful refuge of thought provoking, soul-satisfying music."

"Vin Downes' new record is a huge breath of fresh air. Every note he plays is so intentionally placed, so masterfully crafted, and so full of heart. Putting all of those elements in front of the sonic capturing magic of the incredible Tom Eaton at Imaginary Roads Studios and you get this masterpiece. Take the time to really soak in this record it will be with us for the ages."

"Warm and gently soothing, Vin Downes' magic touch on the guitar strings has never sounded better! Good Light To Go By could be his best album yet!"

“Vin Downes is a brilliant guitarist and a heart-felt composer ...Vin is a consummate player who draws upon a wide range of styles. The marvelous thing is that his musical voice is unique enough and powerful enough to hold these different threads together seamlessly. His abilities as a player create an even broader palate from which to draw in his performances."

"Just beautiful...I love your music. I just love the way you play...really fine touch...

and you swing."

While Vin’s guitar playing is impressive and can range from tastefully understated to dazzling, I am equally impressed with his skills as a composer. Vin has a wonderful sense of composition that brims with emotional content.
